A Question for Ani DiFranco

From the folks at the Associated Press via Yahoo:

AP: Your approach, your energy on the current tour and on the new album seem different. Why is that?

DiFranco: The difference is solitude. I have it in my life now, and I didn't for years, at all. But there's been a lot of changes so now I'm alone on stage, it's been like a year and a half, and I'm alone in my dressing room and I'm alone in my home. And there's just a lot less people around. So it allows for more contemplation.

When you look, being alone is everywhere.
